Given amount of people I've talked to that believe they pulled themselves up by their boot straps, and then find out they have a trust fund or where able to find a couple hundred thousand from a friends and family fund round, I'm not sure how much that stat matters.

It matters if you're painting women as disadvantaged by not being be part of one, but, say, 99%+ of men don't belong to one. Meanwhile, ignoring women-only support networks(like the kind that gives $5M to female business owners....)
